As for TRAKUS, I don't get all the negative comments on the boards. Don't people want MORE ACCURATE DATA? Of course, TRAKUS as a norm makes BEYER figs pretty much irrelevant. Can't have that now, can we?

April in NY is typically a horrible month.. All the winterized stock is spent and the solid operations that will be her in days are finishing up at keeneland. What is the world would you have NYRA do? IMO they should close 3/15 and re open at Belmont after Keeneland breaks, but there are at least a few operations that need to earn and I guess not having a paycheck for 6 weeks would be incrediblely harmful??? In all candor we all know the races have been comical but again the stock just does not come up for a few weeks...
As for the turf I would imagine its all about safety and not about the adverse effects on the turf..
